Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Says Her Cancer Is Back But She Will Remain on the Court
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg announced Friday she is
undergoing chemotherapy treatments for a recurrence of her cancer. The
cancer is in her liver. Ginsburg previously survived pancreatic, colon
and lung cancer. Ginsburg was hospitalized briefly last week for chills
and a fever but says it was unrelated to the cancer. In a statement, the
87-year-old justice said, "I have often said I would remain a member of
the court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to
do that."
